Grace was an active member of Christ Church Anglican in Lively for a great many years. Many will remember her skill in designing and helping to assemble quilts to be sold for the church. Grace very much enjoyed going to Bible Study at St Andrew's Place for many years. Grace was recognized recently for more than 50 years of service to the Copper Cliff Legion. She was also a member of the Walden Mental Health Advisory Board for a time. During her 30 years career with the Sudbury Board of Education, Grace served the Women Teacher's Federation in many capacities, including as Goodwill Convener for Ontario. Grace obtained her license as a teacher in 1949 at the Truro Teacher's College and obtained her BA from Queen's University much later in life, in 1975. Grace spent the latter part of her career as art consultant for the Sudbury Board of Education, which allowed her to share her talent and love for crafts and art with students in more than 50 schools in the region. Thousands of students have great memories of their art classes with "Mrs. Murray". Originally from Bridgewater, Nova Scotia, Grace spent almost every summer in NS after moving to Sudbury in the early 50's. In more recent years Grace spent the Christmas holiday season in Alberta with her daughter. Grace was loved by many, including her parents William and Gertrude Tompkins, her first husband Randall Harlow (predeceased), her second husband Joseph Augustus (Gus) Murray (predeceased) and her brothers Harold and Bill (predeceased) and adopted brother Dean (predeceased). Grace also has a sister Beatrice, who died in the early 20's. Grace will always have a special place in the heart of her sister Goldie (Buddy), her daughter Nancy Draper (nee Harlow)(Bob) and her son David (Monique) and will be fondly remembered by her grandchildren Sean (Rebecca) and Andrea (Andrew), who blessed her with 3 great-grandchildren. Many nieces dearly loved Grace as did countless friends, neighbours, colleagues and other people who came into contact with Grace and her kindness, generosity and sense of humour. A long life that has touched many others. Special thanks to the doctors, nurses and caregivers on the 4th Floor at the Sudbury Regional Hospital.
